The only question is whether she plays a special forces soldier or a goverment scientist

GI Joe 2, aka GI Joe: Retaliation (sidenote: couldn’t every action movie be subtitled “retaliation?”) has a new director (Justin Bieber Never Say Never‘s Jon M. Chu stepping in for Stephen Sommers), new writers (Zombieland‘s Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese), and as this new trailer shows, basically a new cast. At least Channing Tatum actually gets to show up so he can die in the first five minutes, Marlon Wayans and Dennis Quaid must’ve been too busy (that’s why C-Tates is the Hardest Twerkin’ Man in Show Bizznasty). Anyway, after they kill off the cast of the first movie, The Rock shows up with Bruce Willis and he’s all, “I’m drivin’!” And Bruce Willis is like, “No way, kid, I’m drivin’!” and then The Rock is like, “No way, old man!” and Bruce Willis is like “I’m too old for this shit.” Then the Cobras attack and they’re all “PEW! PEW!” And then 22-year-old Government Scientist Hot Tits Houlihan (Adrianne Palicki) is all “Maybe we can reverse the polarity!”

Sure it doesn’t look like some sort of high level drama, but for just a standard turn your brain off and watch things blow up for a bit type of movie, I’ve seen worse. Not every movie needs to be art of The Godfather.

Bold move, casting The Rock in this; a hollywood ultra-muscle with no neck plays a super-flexible & articulated toy doll. I was let down when they didn’t have someone’s thumb break off in the first one after trying to hold a gun, so I doubt they’d have any jokes about it in the sequel, hey?
